Guest ozzie Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 anyone catch the first flight of the 787? looked pretty good, interesting how far that wing flexes.

Tomo Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I think this is it... certainly looks a bit like a banana with those wings bent like that! Nice landing, and nice looking machine.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMxgmR3RFns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Maj Millard Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hey, Was it Tex Johnston who killed himself trying to get off a lake in a Seabee, and instead ended up in the trees,..........ah shall we say slightly lubricated ??...........................

winsor68 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I guess its sailplane type wing is what will make it so efficient in cruising flight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazza 38 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Its been a raging success so far..They couldn't possibly have any more trouble.. Sorry mate, but it hasnt been a big success, they had to go back to the drawing board on alot of things, mainly the wing carrythrough. It fail the inital test, they had to redisign the structure.]=['Cheers.Ps- they could still have more set backs, their two years late already.But having said that- i like the saying-IF ITS NOT BOING, ITS NOT GOING- anyway please dont take offence,i like your threads.
